The next Superman movie can learn a lot from Superman Returns. Some of the best live-action Superman scenes are in that movie (plane scene, viewing earth from space and speeding down to help someone, etc). It's too bad Routh only got one shot at a theatrical Superman appearance. I think he looks great here in this Kingdom Come styled Superman costume
There's some key differences that mean a lot despite not being drastic differences in of themselves. The S isn't childishly small. The trunks are longer and don't look like a speedo. The fabrics don't look like stiff, flat rubber, and the red is red and not burgundy.

Somewhere there's an alternate universe where Brandon Routh was undiscovered or largely overlooked for action roles till about 2011 and he's been playing Superman ever since, and now is aging gracefully into his 40s alongside the character.
F%&k dude. I can safely say that THAT is what Superman looks like.

Really makes you lament even more that everything around Routh for SR was a complete and utter train-wreck. They did this man dirty.
Only thing that would make this cooler is if KC WW was part of this, but I'm highly doubtful that's at all in the cards. Oh well.

That suit looks pretty awesome. Hoechlin's still got it .
I'm also glad they didn't give him Hoechlin's cape straps.
I'd love to see this costume design in full Fleischer-mode with the classic black-filled S and yellow outline.

Hahaha, well techincally by comic book lore she should visually age slower than Superman....
Or hey, reverse it and have this Superman the one who ages more slowly and Carter can be the KC WW.

Agreed, the neckline is also much more open and wide, and there's a lot more musculature that's visible. It's overall just a much more accurate costume that makes him look big, powerful, and awe-inspiring like how Superman should look. Especially if we're going off Alex Ross Superman.
Like, I know there's this taboo or whatever about using TV actors to play the film characters, and Routh has played Superman in a movie before, but.......c'mon yo. Look at him.
No one would blame you, WB. No one.
